This place is great. Family business, such friendly staff. Good pizza, snacks, lanes, and the kiddos LOVE the arcade. Very reasonable prices. We have never made reservations, and there is always a lane open when we walk in. At Easter time, our egg hunt was rained out, and they allowed us to have it here with no notice, AND gave us extra eggs to hide. This place is a local treasure where we can always count on a good time.
For advertising and selling a "summer package" for kids out of school they should have conducive hours, at least during their summer program. Not opening till 5 some days, random days open at 1, some days close at 8, some days close at 9, closed 2 days of the week- it's unlike any "summer" schedule I have ever seen and we wouldn't have signed up if the package stated the extremely odd hours. Edit to add to their response: I paid extra for the adults to be able to play also. Just basing your hours off of ot
It's a fun and relaxing time with some food,drinks and some arcade games
I have a mentally handicapped adult son and I take him bowling there every time I have him for the weekend which is more than once a month. He is always treated with respect not only by the staff but also the other bowlers. Many times there are families with small children as well. I try to avoid nights when leagues are bowling because the place is packed on those nights and they don't always have a lane open because of that.
We always have a great time here. Family friendly. Love the kids bowl free program they offer in the summer months. My daughter loves bowling because we have this great bowling alley like bowl o drome to go to close by.
Awesome local alley. Friendly service, clean facilities, and good food. The arcade is pretty fun, too. Lanes are well maintained and play well!
Perfect place to take the kids for a day. They are younger so they weren't interested in the bowling after the first game, but they thoroughly enjoyed the arcade. Lots of games to play and prizes to choose from. While bowling we did have to switch lanes once due to ours not working, but the staff was friendly and helpful while doing so.
This is a family owned bowling alley. We've been going here for years. An would recommend it. We'll continue going here. It's great for parties and hanging out with friends. They have a small arcade area for everyone to enjoy. Food is delicious.
I've never written a review before but I'm so annoyed about this I have to. They had to move us to three different lanes cause the lanes kept breaking (bowling balls got stuck and pin replacer got stuck). Then they charged us as if it wasn't their fault the lanes broke. They didn't even bother to apologize or offer a voucher for the inconvenience. The audacity they had to charge us for their issue is absurd. I'm never coming here again, and I suggest you don't either.
I went here with?a disabled Veteran?on Veterans Day (and his caretaker son).? It was League night.? We attempted to bowl and ended up having league bowlers loudly SCREAMING at us because they felt we should not be there.? It was VERY embarrassing.? We were extremely polite and did not engage with the angry people at all, most were elderly.? We just nodded and were respectful.? After a while, we decided it was best to leave.? I attempted to discuss?the problem with the owner and spent 10 minutes with him rep
We absolutely love this bowling alley! Always a great time and you can tell the owners really care about the facility and it's patrons!
I am not even home yet after throwing my son a birthday party at the Bowl-O-Drome and I had to get on to write a review! It was a great experience!! The people at Bowl-O-Drome were accommodating and friendly!! They provided pizza and drinks and made sure we had all that we needed!! Bowl-O-Drome also has a variety of arcade games that the boys enjoyed! It was a perfect location for a party!! They have done a great job updating, inside and out! I definitely encourage supporting this small business!!
Visited for the a cub scout Pack 76 charity Bowl A Thon. A fantastic experience overall. Great bowling alley! Lanes, shoes and equipment were well maintained. Staff was very friendly, professional and willing to support the local community. Great place for families. Will definitely visit again soon!
Went bowling for some family fun time. We rented two lanes for the amount of people we had. The pricing was fair and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Reading reviews from a few years ago are either deceiving or they have made some positive staff changes. Either way, we had a fun time bowling and enjoyed our time spent at the bowling lanes.
Mike is a very hard working owner of the bowling alley and does his best to make sure everyone is having. I would recommend this place to have a party or to just grab a few friends and going bowling at.
Spent at least 15 mins of our hour waiting on our bowling balls to come back because the machine was malfunctioning. No one really wanted to try to fix it. When they did it ended up happening again right before we finished the our game so we just left without finishing and paid full price for the hour
Grew up in this place, very kid friendly. Owners do wonders for the local community, many great memories.
We took our 8 year old son there. His school gave him a bowl 2 games free every day card that gave a web site. Bowl O Drome was a participant in the program. Basically for 30 we bowl any day they are open for just shoe rental. Also the gentleman that was there saw me trying to teach my son and came over. He tried to help. He was very nice! We are planning on making going there a regular family activity.
Had an awful experience here. Came in and the owner was extremely rude right at the start. He was upset that our shoes were wet from the rain outside...mind you, we hadn't stepped towards the lanes or anything, we were just at the counter trying to get lanes/shoes. Instead of addressing the "problem" (if there were really was one) calmly and just asking me politely to resolve it, the owner started berating us and threw a rag at me telling me to wipe the floor. I'm not sure what his problem was, but he didn'
I am utterly aghast at the poor level of customer service! I must agree with the prior reviewer - the owners make it abundantly clear that their customers are actually an inconvenience to them! We reserved a lane for Friday night glow bowl to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Upon arrival, we ordered a pizza and fries, only to be rudely informed that we should have known to order our food when we reserved the lane a week ago! This place serves food - how were we to know that you needed to place your or
Excellent customer service. Great environment. You will not be disappointed!!!
Held my granddaughter's birthday here today. The facility was very clean, the staff was very attentive. The new arcade is nice. I would definetly do another party here.
This is a nice place to bring the kids.. Its older and small compared to other bowling alleys. They offer great package deals like bowling and pizza etc... Check their web site out for deals before going . they have a snack bar with pitchers of soda. The lanes are in good shape. We always try to bowl in the side area on the other side of the snack bar where the juke box is located. They have a claw machine and a few vending machines . also a small pro shop. For being out in the middle of no where its a nice
Love bowling on Friday nights on out League. The owner is always helpful and Nice. I have came on other days just to bowl and it's such a nice place for kids of all ages.
Great experience-under new management and atmosphere is really fun and family friendly. My kids loved the pizza and wings. Good prices on everything.
Spent the afternoon here and had a great family fun day. Nice place. Clean, friendly and the arcade games were awesome. I would recommend Bowl-O-Drome.
As far as bowling ally's go, this place was abysmal. I felt personally victimized by the quality of the pizza. This is a decent place to go bowling if you appreciate an impersonal owner creeping around your party. Consider playing wii bowling instead.
Great evening out, Mike and the staff were friendly and got us in on a busy night. Everyone had a great time!
Great arcade! Fun to bowl people are helpful and nice, kids loved it. Pizza was personally not my favorite though
Great staff, great food, friendly, clean bathrooms, reasonable prices, had a birthday party and had wonderful time
League bowling as well as open...sometimes on league bowling nights the machines break down. On open bowling nights never had a problem.
Nice experience, even has a small arcade with a prize area
A horrible place. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE!!!!! They have a nasty girl working for them... They will call the COPS on you for anything you do... I repeat DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE!!!!!!
Just awful. A family night out turned into leaving early due to faulty equipment and service people had no idea how to fix it OR even help. My childhood spot is now just a rip off...
Excellent place to bowl. Great lane condition and family friendly. Good food too!
Nice place , needs some updates and more oil even if it is just for the Rock and bowl
Nice place can be crowded not enough seats. Enjoyed ourselves
They have a lot of electronic games and the bowling alleys are beautiful the whole place is beautiful and the staff is great

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
